Georg Nolte (politician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Nolte (born December 2, 1942 in Leipzig , † June 21, 2016 in Neustrelitz) was a German politician ( Democratic Awakening , CDU ).

Life

Georg Nolte grew up with his brother Rainer in Leipzig and graduated there in 1961. First he studied Catholic theology in Erfurt; but gave up this study in favor of his first marriage. He then worked as a commercial clerk. In 1970 he was awarded a diploma in oec. for foreign trade. Nolte was a practicing Catholic throughout his life. After his first marriage, he worked in foreign trade, housing construction and agriculture. At the end of the 1970s he lived in Berlin (East); He spent the 80s in the village of Döllen near Kyritz. From 1987 to 1994 he lived with his third wife on a pottery farm in what would later become the "Müritz National Park" in Mecklenburg. In December 1990 he became (after a failed political career) head of the development staff of the state salary office in Neustrelitz. He gave up this post in 1991 in favor of a state parliament mandate. Since 1994 he lived in a new building area in Neustrelitz and Schwerin.

Georg Nolte was married four times and had two children from his second marriage. He was a sailor and coin collector. His trademark was an "Elbe sailor", which he wore almost continuously and which earned him a certain resemblance to Rainer Eppelmann.

politics

Until the fall of the Wall in the GDR, Nolte lived, like many opponents of the GDR regime, in "internal immigration" in the province. Since the fall of the Wall he was active in the democratic awakening in Neustrelitz. His "opponent" on the political stage was the former LPG chairman Lorenz Caffier, who later made a career in Schwerin as Minister of the Interior of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Nolte was the first and only state chairman of the Democratic Awakening in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. With the merger of Democratic Awakening and the CDU, he became a CDU member in September 1990.

In the state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 1990 , he was initially not elected to the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania state parliament because the CDU won all direct mandates and thus did not seize his place on the list. After MPs charged with the Stasi had left, he replaced Dieter Quaas in the state parliament on May 31, 1991 . In the state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 1994 , he was directly elected to the state parliament in constituency 22 Müritz II / Mecklenburg-Strelitz II with 48.7% of the vote. In 1998 he defended the direct mandate with 38.0% of the vote. He was the social policy spokesman for the CDU parliamentary group and until 2002 chairman of the finance committee of the state parliament. In 2002 he no longer applied for the direct mandate for reasons of age. Lorenz Caffier took over his constituency. From 2002 he lived in Neustrelitz and left the CDU towards the end of his life.
